Summary
Thanking him for his "notice of the 'Lillian' book" [i.e. Life and Lillian Gish]; recounting a lunch with Professor Phelps [probably William Lyon Phelps]; commenting on Gish and her roles in Camille and Uncle Vanya; hoping that "the Guggenheim matter is coming on favorably"; wondering if Wagenknecht has read Bernard De Voto's book Mark Twain's America.
